Challenge Nile River Arena (Part 2)
The Dark Beast crawled out of the void rift, its massive body entwined in the void, its limbs twisted, as if composed of countless intertwined afterimages. Its eyes were dark and deep, devouring the surrounding light like a black hole, and its body exuded an aura even more terrifying than the previous Dark Beast.
Sun Wukong stood in the air, his fighting spirit undiminished, and he was not afraid at all. He shook his golden cudgel lightly, and the cudgel expanded more than ten times in an instant.
"Another one? Haha, just in time!" His eyes sparkled with excitement.
However, this dark beast did not attack as easily as the previous one. Instead, it let out a low roar towards the sky. As it roared, the void began to distort, and the surrounding darkness surged as if it had life, gradually gathering into a huge figure.
Lin Bai's heart tightened. She keenly sensed that the dark beast that had appeared this time was incredibly powerful, and its every breath seemed to affect the pulse of the entire void.
"Great Sage, be careful!" Lin Bai warned in a deep voice.
Sun Wukong grinned and said nonchalantly, "I've never been afraid of anyone!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned into a ray of golden light and rushed out. As he swung the golden cudgel, the heaven and earth shook. Flames and thunder intertwined into a blazing light, smashing down fiercely at the dark beast!
However, the next moment, the dark beast turned into a shadow in an instant and disappeared on the spot!
Sun Wukong's attack missed, the wind from his stick tore through the void but did not hit the target.
Lin Bai's heart was shocked. This guy... can actually teleport?
"Great Sage, on the left!" she reminded quickly.
Sun Wukong was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he swung his golden cudgel back suddenly, but the dark beast disappeared again. This time, it appeared right in front of Lin Bai, and its dark pupils were fixed on her.
She almost instinctively dodged and stepped back, but at this moment, the figure of the dark beast suddenly split, and several identical figures appeared in all directions at the same time!
"Clone?" Lin Bai's eyes narrowed.
Sun Wukong was also stunned, but then he laughed out loud: "Interesting!"
The next moment, he stomped his feet suddenly, and his whole body turned into a golden light and soared into the sky. Then, a figure as tall as a mountain suddenly appeared in the void. It was actually his Law of Heaven and Earth!
Golden light and darkness intertwined, real and fake figures fought in the starry sky, and every collision brought about an energy storm that destroyed the world.
Lin Bai stood in the distance, her eyes narrowed slightly. She knew that this battle had gone beyond the ordinary scope. If the weakness of the dark beast could not be found as soon as possible, this confrontation might fall into an endless stalemate.
She took a deep breath, quickly analyzed the situation, and glanced around. Suddenly, she noticed that in the torn void, she could see the gods originally on the murals. The energy flow in their hands was very similar to a certain energy flow in this starry sky.
"Could it be that... the solution to the problem is right there on the mural?"
She quickly called up her optical computer and retrieved the images of the murals she had previously recorded in the pyramid. She compared them one by one, trying to find any patterns in them.
At this moment, the battle entered a white-hot stage. The figure of the dark beast gathered together again. It roared to the sky and suddenly opened its huge mouth. A beam of black light gushed out of its mouth and hit Lin Bai directly!
In a flash, Lin Bai's pupils shrank and his heart suddenly tightened.
At this critical moment, a golden figure flashed in front of her, and the golden cudgel swept across suddenly, splitting the dark beam of light with one stick!
Sun Wukong stood in front of Lin Bai and said with a grin, "Are you okay?"
"Great Sage, please hold on a little longer. I've found a way to crack it!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes lit up slightly. He spun his golden cudgel in his hand and said with a heroic smile, "Alright! Anyway, we're just playing around with this monster. If you want to help, I'd like to see what tricks you have!"
With that, he once again engaged the massive body of the Dark Beast in a fierce struggle. Every clash caused the void to tremble, and the aura of battle grew increasingly intense as light and shadow intertwined.
Lin Bai quickly lowered her head and flipped through the mural images on the computer. Her eyes were fixed on one of the images. The deity in the image held a crystal stone in its hands, and the crystal stone was engraved with strange runes. Opposite the deity was the image of the dark beast.
"Is this crystal... the same as the one on the altar?" she murmured to herself, and then decisively took out the dark blue crystal that she had just taken from the altar from her arms.
She closed her eyes, trying to sense the energy flowing within the crystal. In an instant, a huge stream of information flooded into her consciousness, and countless fragmented images flashed through her mind.
On an ancient battlefield, the gods, holding their scepters high, faced off against a dark behemoth that devoured the world. Divine powers clashed, and the flames of war ignited the heavens. In the end, the gods sealed their power within this crystal, hoping that future generations would inherit their will and complete the unfinished battle.
Lin Bai opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.
She understood!
This crystal is "God's gift" and the key to sealing the dark beast.
"Brother Monkey, force the dark beast here!" She suddenly looked up and shouted at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was fighting fiercely with the dark beast in mid-air. When he heard Lin Bai's words, he turned back without hesitation.
He leaped up, and the golden cudgel turned into a thousand-foot-long rainbow, sweeping towards the dark beast fiercely!
"Monster, come here!"
boom!
The dark beast was knocked back by the stick, and its huge body rolled in the air and fell straight towards Lin Bai!
Lin Bai took a deep breath and clenched his hands around the crystal, intending to inject his mimicking mental power into it. Threads of light streamed into the crystal.
In an instant, the crystal burst into a dazzling blue light, runes emerged, and the entire space seemed to be pulled by some powerful energy, converging towards the center of the crystal!
The dark beast sensed the danger and struggled frantically, letting out a deafening roar, trying to escape from the attraction.
But how could Sun Wukong give it a chance?
"I told you, I'm going to get rid of you today!"
He stomped his feet suddenly, and the entire void was shaking. The golden cudgel turned into a thousand feet long, like a pillar supporting the sky, smashing down from above!
"Take this stick from me, Old Sun!"
Boom!!!
This attack completely suppressed the dark beast, and the crystal in Lin Bai's hand burst out with tremendous light, forming a huge sealing barrier that completely enveloped the dark beast!
The roar of the dark beast came to an abrupt end, and its huge figure quickly disintegrated under the power of the seal, eventually turning into specks of black dust and being completely swallowed up.
The entire void returned to tranquility.
Sun Wukong put away his golden cudgel and landed beside Lin Bai. He crossed his arms and grinned, "Hey, little girl, you did a great job. The young are formidable!"
Lin Bai took a breath, looked up at Sun Wukong, and smiled: "Great Sage, if you hadn't blocked it, I wouldn't have had the chance to cast the seal."
Sun Wukong laughed heartily and patted her shoulder: "That was great! I haven't had such a satisfying fight in ages!"
As the dark beast disappeared, the starry sky began to distort and change, and a familiar light curtain appeared in front of Lin Bai.
[Congratulations to challenger Lin Bai for obtaining the 'Gift from God' and clearing the first level.]
The light curtain slowly dissipated, and the surrounding environment gradually became blurred.
Lin Bai knew that it was time to move on to the next level.
But the Monkey King, already carrying his golden cudgel, waved his hand and said with a heroic smile, "Young man, see you next time. I'm going back to that bitter cold place to cultivate."
The next moment, golden light flashed, and Sun Wukong's figure gradually faded and finally disappeared into the void.
The void gradually disappeared. Lin Bai didn't have time to say anything. Looking at the empty altar, he felt inexplicably lonely.
There was no sound from before, and she was alone.
Suddenly, the altar in front of Lin Bai flickered and disappeared.
Just as her vision adjusted to the sudden darkness, the system notification sounded in her ears.
[Challengers, please hurry...]
However, this time, the system's voice suddenly stopped, as if it had been disturbed by something. The remaining sound echoed in the tomb and gradually fell silent.
Lin Bai frowned slightly, scanning the surrounding murals. The deities depicted on these murals were vividly portrayed. Before her lay the sarcophagus, its lid carved with intricate, mysterious patterns that echoed the runes on the "God's Gift" crystal in her hand.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand, and just as her fingertips touched the coffin lid, a weak energy wave came from deep within the sarcophagus, as if something was about to wake up.
Maybe the system really wanted to remind her to leave.
——
Compared to the silence in the tomb, the military control center was filled with an undercurrent of anxiety.
"What is Gu Ping doing? Is she going to expose us?" The white-haired senior executive's voice was full of obvious impatience. He tapped the table with his knuckles and frowned.
Another senior executive glanced sideways, his expression nonchalant: "Not really. Her ancestors were also part of the opposition. If she exposed this secret, she herself will not be able to escape."
After hearing this, the atmosphere in the room became even heavier.
"Why did our ancestors do this?" After a long silence, a middle-aged senior official finally spoke, his voice tinged with fatigue and resentment. "This entire planet from another world is powerful and noble, even willing to help eradicate the Dark World... and yet our ancestors did that."
"The consequences of the causes they sow will be borne by the lives of millions of future generations."
After these words were spoken, the conference room fell into a brief silence and no one dared to respond.
Finally, the voice of the white-haired senior executive broke the deadlock: "Hide it from her, don't let her find out."
——
Lin Bai was already walking in the corridor he came from.
She carefully observed each mural and recorded them all using her computer.
She secretly felt that a huge conspiracy was slowly emerging before her.
